Le Songe d'un Habitant du Mogol & autres fables de la Fontaine
(Réunion des Musées nationaux, Imprimerie nationale, 1989)
This is a delightful large-format book of some 192 pages featuring the fifty-nine miniatures painted by Imam Bakhsh at the court of Lahore from 1837 on. As far as I can understand, these miniatures are now preserved at ...
Fables de la Fontaine, 4me Série N°2
(Imagerie Pellerin à Épinal, 1954)
Here is a second version of the same work and, by all indications, the earlier. I have it as done in 1982. (I also have the first copy of No 1 for both times, and the No 1 of a 1978 printing.) Though this copy bears no ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Editions G.P., 1949)
Bodemann 466.1. The special feature of this book of one hundred and five fables is the full-page photolithographs by Auger. I find sixteen in all, including a good frontispiece (5) of La Fontaine and the animals and a ...
Fables de la Fontaine, Album No. 2
(Imagerie de Pont-à-Mousson, Marcel Vagné et ses Fils, Imprimeurs-ÉditeursLouis Vagné, 1910)
This oversized book that staples together twenty posters seems to me to be a poor man's Pellerin. Each Planche is numbered, from 21 through 40. There is a good deal of crayoning evident in the book, on the backs of some ...
Fables de La Fontaine, Précédées de la vie d'Ésope, suivies de Philémon et Baucis, et des filles de Minée; Nouvelle Édition, dans laquelle on aperçoit d'un coup d'oeil la moralité de la fable
(Chez Mame et Cie, Imprimeurs-Libraires, 1834)
Here is a small (3½ x 5½), typical French edition of La Fontaine from the 1830's. Perhaps the only remarkable thing about the edition, shared with many later editions from Mame, is that it italicizes the morality portion ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Librairie Hachette, 1921)
The last page signals that this is the 1931 printing of Lorioux' work, which originally appeared in 1921. See my comments on the original edition, also by Hachette, under 1921? This edition changes the cover to offer a ...
fables
(Robert Laffont, 1958)
Several unusual features mark this book, which is a handy, straightforward presentation of LaFontaine's complete fables. First, there is an excellent engraving of a lion and stork on the cover, unfortunately hidden by the ...
Fables de la Fontaine
(Editions Lito S.A.Éditions Lito, 1970)
Two pages apiece for eleven fables, given in LaFontaine's original text. A pleasing large-format children's book. Among the illustrations, that of a fisherman in a newspaper hat is perhaps the most charming. The town ...
Fables de La Fontaine
(Imagerie d'Épinal, Pellerin & Cie., 1890)
This large (16½ x 12½) book represents a wonderful find. It brings together the broadsides or posters I have found from Pellerin/Épinal, displayed at http://aesop.creighton.edu/jcupub/newpage47.htm. And so it fills in ...
Jean de la Fontaine: Fables
(GF-Flammarion, 1995)
I am surprised that I had missed this sturdy 538-page paperback. I am glad to find it now. Besides providing a full text of the fables, it offers more copious notes--ninety pages worth--than the usual paperback edition. ...
